Yes... there's only one problem: feet.

i wish you numbered your videos in the order they were shot it's very hard to keep up when were bouncing from lights to backgrounds to temp..

@famousPhotog : I prefer to set a background properly so I can choose what to do and I'm not limited by the situation... like I am when I'm on location ;)

@beerborn - LMAO...

[shaneephraimsphotogr]

That coloured background looks terrible.. especially in the photos..

@ZioZambe True. But for everything from 3/4 to head shots, you are better off using gels and cookies. Generally, for full length, I prefer to shoot on location, rather than in the studio.

Forget muslins and canvas. Paint the back wall medium neutral grey, purchase 5, 10, 20, or 50 colored gels, purchase or make a few "cookies" to shoot the filtered light through, and presto.....you have the equivalent of hundreds of different background looks.
